By reconstructing a materialist conception of nature and society, this book challenges the spiritualism prevalent in the modern Green movement, pointing toward a method that offers more lasting sustainable solutions to the ecological crisis. Marx's neglected writings on agriculture, soil ecology, philosophical naturalism and evolutionary theory are outlined.
